What a lovely cottage, we couldn't have asked for more. The owners were so kind and helpful. They provided us with all the local information to keep us busy for the week. Thank you Sian, we will definitely be back next year.

The positives are peaceful location well equipped cottage and good standard of decoration.What let it down was the property was still being cleaned when we arrived at check-in time of 4pm. The main double bed mattress was very uncomfortable the springs are shot. Evertime we turned we could here the springs. I should add we are both light weight adults. The pillows were so flat and lifeless we ended up buying pillows.Had it not been for these issues we would have given it 5*. However sleep is very important to us and we didn't sleep well at all. Our friend who used one of the single beds said he slept well.

Lovely cosy cottage with plenty of space. Having a good selection of kids games was a bonus. It's located in a lovely area with local amenities within walking distance. Great pubs locally and only 20 minutes from Llanberis for Snowdon and 30 minutes from Anglesey. Sian was very welcoming. We had a lovely stay.
